"Cemetary"[edit]

Is "Cemetary" an intended or unintended misspelling of cemetery? Punkmorten (talk) 20:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Motion to delete[edit]

A disambiguation page noting the alleged (I can't find any citations for this) difference in US and UK English spellings and also a Swedish band is entirely unnecessary. This page should either be deleted or have a lot more ambiguous usages added. It could easily be replaced by changing the link on the Cemetery page to link directly to the band. 72.233.171.35 (talk) 05:03, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Oxford English Dictionary, which is the definitive arbiter of "British" English, says "cemetary" is a misspelling. That pretty well demolishes the idea that it is an accepted British spelling, so I've deleted that comment from the page. Unless someone comes up with some REAL alternative uses of "cemetary", I agree that this page should be replaced with a link directly to the band. — CWesling (talk) 05:42, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, I take it back. Cemetery should have a link directly to the band, yes, but this page should be turned into a redirect to Cemetery instead of just being deleted. — CWesling (talk) 05:45, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
